Disney's frozen has been a phenomenal hit with kids and grown-ups alike
throughout the world with its cast of lovable characters and its catchy songs
Disney fans are not ready to let it go with frozen to having been recently
released the hype is only growing stronger and where there's hype there's
discussion that's normal we wanted to know how the cast of the frozen movie
stack up on the morality spectrum I'm Teresa with a wicked binge and this is
good too evil frozen first up on our list is Olaf
despite initially seeming like an easy fan favorite Olaf has gained many an
enemy over the years as frozen's initial hype never quite faded cementing it as a
classic go-to for an entire generation of children we were just talking about
you as many parents will tell you if you've seen frozen as many times as the
average child wants to see it the snowman's antics will start to grate on
your nerves however despite the fact that he might be irritating I still
firmly believe that Olaf is the truest good the franchise has to offer in the
original movie when Anna is dying from the ice blast she got to the heart
he sets her up by the fire to keep her warm even when it causes him to melt off
your melting some people are worth melting for the fact that the movie
doesn't acknowledge this as the act of true love that Anna needs to be saved is
probably the biggest plot pitfall frozen has in my opinion in this scene
Olaf proves himself to be the most morally good character in the series
with one fell swoop securing his place at the top of our list
spen is the next on our list one of the first characters introduced in the
franchise Sven is the lovable reindeer companion of Kristoff though at times
he's more doglike than anything else a loyal companion it's hard to find any
fault with spen after all he's the one who convinces Kristoff that although
might insist that Hans is her real true love he should still go after her she's
with her true love he's also the much-needed form of
transport for many quick getaways and crossed forest journeys in the franchise
he stuck with Kristoff through thick and thin since he was a child and his love
for his companion never wanes no matter the danger he's dragged into he retains
his lovable demeanor no matter the weather which for frozen is pretty
important in fact the only reason he even ranks second is simply because
nothing he could do could really outweigh Olaf's act of true compassion
for Anna in the first film that's no slight on poor spin though
it's hard for any reindeer to outdo that next up is Anna though Elsa is often
taken to be the most important character in frozen seeing as she sets the events
of the movie into motion and is the one with the magical powers Anna is still
the protagonist whose eyes we see the events take place through maybe she has
a thing about dirt when it comes to Disney Princesses she's
one of the most relatable socially awkward naive and stubborn to a fault
she has the hallmark of a princess while retaining the hallmark of a normal girl
- not your awkward but just because we're I'm awkward you're gorgeous in for
the first time in forever she manages to juxtapose singing about ballrooms and
extravagant royal galas with the growing pains of an isolated young girl hoping
for romance however as the protagonist of the series she's also one of the most
developed characters which she couldn't be without some human flaws one of those
is being stubborn to a fault her initial argument with Elsa over her
engagement boiled over into Elsa revealing her powers and running away
from arendelle her unwillingness to let anything go is an admirable trait and
ultimately is what leads her to save her sister in the end but also has a habit
of putting her and others in harm's way her impulse and overly trusting behavior
also leads her to make the rash decision of putting Hans in charge of arendelle
in her absence which also leads to a catastrophe I leave
Prince Hans in charge however these are human errors and flaws with no malicious
intent behind them without them Anna wouldn't be such a well loved character
and without overcoming them she wouldn't have become the queen she is at the end
of frozen to Krista off places next as one of the first characters we are
introduced to he was always going to be an important part of the story even if
he never knew it he's as hard-headed as anna and provides
an equal match for her in their conversations providing much-needed
tension relief in sticky times this is fresh lacquer seriously were you raised
in a barn before the start of the first film he's shown to have been a lone wolf
of sorts only really interacting with people to run his ice harvesting
business and otherwise being content with just him and his reindeer you want
to talk about a supply and demand problem I sell ice for a living
he even insists that reindeer are further than people and comes off as
cold and aloof underneath is hard and sometimes dismissive exterior though he
has a heart of gold and the audience and knows it from the start okay thank you
we see it through his a loving relationship with spen and his found
family with the trolls later on we see it in this budding love for Anna as he
takes risks for her time and time again Kristoff is a much-loved fan favorite
because he lived up to our expectations we saw through his aloof exterior to the
loving heart underneath are you cold a little we could not say the same in
Reverse for someone else I will come to him much later
most likely the most famous character in frozen is Elsa locked away in her
bedroom for almost her entire childhood as she desperately tries and fails to
control her powers it's easier to understand why she comes off as cold and
strict at the beginning the opening scene has her accidentally injuring Anna
as a child with her powers and then being racked with so much guilt for her
developing years that she couldn't even leave her room for her parents funerals
it's a touching and heartbreaking story right from the get-go
dramatic irony as a nurse struggles to see why her sister is rejecting her and
Elsa growing more terrified of her powers with each passing year stay away
from me stay shaking off her shackles and realizing that she can be free with
her powers outside of arendelle is a pivotal moment in her life and not once
she takes lightly her transformation is almost a parody of a villainous she
declares she's no longer that perfect girl and that she's letting her powers
wreak havoc however Elsa is not a villain by any stretch of the
imagination after all all she does is build another tower to
lock herself away in to hide away her powers with the love of her family and
community her powers become manageable and by
frozen - when she ventures out to find out who she really is she already knows
and that person is still fundamentally good fans of the entire frozen franchise
will remember the short film frozen fever that came shortly after in 2015
where Elsa gets a cold her sneezing creates our the snow geese these little
creatures bounced into existence at a rapid rate creating more than a little
mayhem ultimately though it's not their fault that they exist in unabashedly
large quantities and they don't have much personality except for being cute
little nuisances slide in insulin baking and since they provide the short film
with its much-needed cute factor we can't fault them much the playing a
relatively minor role Okin was a memorable character for many reasons big
summer blowout for starters his eccentric mannerisms make him easily one
of the funnier characters in the original film and in his reprisal and
frozen - he's also argued to be the first gay character in a Disney film
with the other man and children in a sauna said to be his family as
interesting a tidbit as this is not much else can be discerned about Oken he's a
einar character who makes a couple of short cameos however the worst he does
arguably is bar christophe from his shop and even then he allows anna to purchase
his winter wear in his stead so he won't freeze just the outfit in the boots
yeah you'd be hard-pressed to find anything malevolent in him anyway next
is Christoph's loving and eccentric found family the trolls a gaggle of
quirky characters big and small they accepted Kristoff into their family with
open arms despite him being an entirely different species cuties I'm gonna keep
you there clearly folk who value family community and empathy for others from
the get-go however watching them accost Anna is
like being an observer of a particularly tiresome family gathering with the
in-laws despite her being clearly unwell and engaged to somebody else they spend
an entire song and dance number pointing out all of Christoph's flaws and then
trying to convince her to not only call off her engagement but to immediately
marry Kristoff in an impromptu ceremony they set up within five minutes of
meeting her her quote engagement is a flex arrangement that's pushy even for
someone who wasn't on the verge of death from having her heart frozen in an
accident they might mean well and Anna's engagement might be admittedly poorly
thought-out but give them some space guys in the first film I do not Elsa and
Anna's mother plays a relatively small part however in the second film her role
is much greater and we get some semblance of a backstory for her it
turns out she was born in the enchanted forest
and could talk to the spirit Guardians there I need to tell you
and where I'm from when a battle broke out between her kingdom and arendelle
she saved Prince Agner with the help of a wind spirit they became fast friends
and were later married sparking the course of the narrative we can infer
that I do know seems to be a caring and loving mother and a devoted wife despite
only having one spoken line she's cooked however the trouble starts much later
when Elsa's powers proved to be a challenge after Anna's accident Bobby
tells the family that Elsa's powers can be dangerous and need to be controlled
and therefore I do not consent to her daughter's isolation until she can
handle it while she may have loved both her daughters and wanted what was best
for them and the kingdom in the long run no one can argue that this was truly in
Elsa's or Anna's best interests Agner comes next on our list if only because
the decision to close the castles gates and isolate his family despite being
warned by pabbie that festering fear of Elsa's powers would make everything
worse isolating her causes her to treat herself like a pariah for her formative
years instead of putting the focus on Elsa learning how to control using her
powers he only presents the option to suppress and conceal them entirely
causing Elsa to view them as a curse instead of a blessing conceal it don't
fear it this isolation drives a huge wedge between Elsa and Anna with the
elder being afraid to even interact with her younger sister for fear of hurting
her it later drives a wedge between Elsa and her parents as she fears hurting
them - and has closed off her emotions towards them no don't touch me although
Elsa's quest to find out who she is in the sequel leads her to reconcile many
elements of her past it's undeniable that Agner handled this extremely badly
in a way that negatively impacted his whole family limit her contact with
people and keep her powers hidden well he did what he did for the perceived
greater good no good can be said to have come
from it next up is marshmallow one of Elsa's ominous snowman warriors he's
created toward Kristoff in a no away when they come to find Elsa in her
castle and he's certainly a ferocious foe however it's hard to paint him as
entirely evil as he's only created with Elsa's objectives in mind and those
objectives are not inherently evil his purpose isn't to cause Kristoff or Anna
any grievous bodily harm it's just to protect Elsa and them from Elsa he's
even shown to have a softer side as when he finds Elsa's crown and puts it on he
visibly brightens up all in all he's not all bad but I still wouldn't like to
meet him on a lonely Street at night Duke of weselton is our penultimate
entry and it's not too difficult to see why the duke of weaseltown weselton
Duke of weselton though he might not be our prime villain he's one of the most
unpleasant characters in the series his sole reason for coming to Elsa's
coronation is to exploit arendelle's riches and to find out what secrets are
hiding behind its closed gates open those gates I may unlock your secrets
and exploit your riches he spends most of the opening part of the movie
badgering people about what secrets they might be hiding and definitely comes off
as unlikable when Elsa's powers are revealed he is
one of the first to show disgust towards her proclaiming that she was a monster a
statement that causes her to run into the forest and isolate herself once
again he then tries to covertly have Elsa killed sending two guards after her
to capture her and should you encounter the Queen you ought to put an end
to this winter despite all of this when Elsa learns to control her powers and
summer is restored to the kingdom he still tries to weasel his way into a
trade deal with the Queen a request that obviously goes unfulfilled it would be
hard to beat the Duke for nastiest character of the franchise but of course
someone narrowly does that person to no one's surprise is Hans Hans is probably
a primary reason why an entire generation are going to grow up with
serious trust issues the entire first half of the narrative there is no
inclination that he is anything but Anna's hasty fiance utterly devoted and
a little daft we would like your blessing he declares his love for her is
trusted with the kingdom when she goes to find Elsa and shows no signs of any
malicious intent I need you here to take care of arendelle on my honor
that is until his pivotal moment where his Oh Anna if only there were somebody
who loved you wine shook audiences across the globe if only there was
someone out there who loved you he chooses Anna's dying moments to reveal
his true colors testifying that it's all been a scheme to gain control over the
kingdom you were so desperate for love you were willing to marry me just like
that if he got Elsa out of the way then he could marry Anna who would become
Queen until some unfortunate accident would undoubtedly befall her the plot is
ludicrously sinister requiring not only a heavy level of planning but also an
absolutely twisted mind it's hard to imagine a villain more cruel than Hans
as he stabs Anna in the back and then twists the knife by sentencing Elsa to
death I charged Queen Elsa of arendelle with treason it's what makes it all the
more sweet when he gets his just desserts in the end the only frozen
heart around here is yours well what do you think who's the most good character
in frozen do you agree Hans is the most evil don't
forget to binge our full get to evil playlist and most importantly stay
wicked
